Dubin v. United States (Medicaid Fraud)

Supreme Court Decision Syllabus (SCOTUS Podcast)

In Dubin v. United States, the Supreme Court reviewed whether a person who commits Medicaid fraud through fraudulent billing can also be convicted for statutory aggravated identity theft. The Court ruled for Dubin, holding that the aggravated identity theft charge can only be applied when the identity theft was at the crux of the crime, not if the fraud happened to involve personal information (here, the Medicaid number).
